Marquis de Champtercier

Marquis de Champtercier was a French nobleman. During the early 19th century, Champtercier was known to be old, rich, and greedy, and he sought to be both an Ultra-Royalist and an Ultra-Voltairian. One day, he met the Bishop of Digne, Bienvenu de Miollis, who asked him for a donation to charity. When the Marquis told the Bishop that he had his own poor people to worry about, the Bishop told Champtercier to give him his poor, so that he may take care of them.
